Altap Salamander Support Forums

Thanks for the memory diagnosic tool. I will run it. But I don't know how to use ProcessExplorer and ProcessMonitor to detect a problem that happens intermittently. I have important things to do, you know :) And ProcessMonitor is very resource intensive and slows down my system dramatically -- I wou...

Not only is Vista not ready for corporate use, but it's not needed, in my opinion. They should wait until the next version comes out to see if they need to upgrade. Most of the time explorer crashes on my laptop, it seems to me, when I try to use its search functionality to launch an app or when I u...

Jan, Salamander runs on my Vista as admin.

SelfMan, thank you. I will probably update my XP system with this, but my current system is Vista, and the update you referred is said to apply to XP systems only. It is the Vista system on which explorer crashes often. I don't have any shell modifying programs as far as I can tell. My laptop is dv6...

When Salamander is killed, it loses latest history. You right, a reboot isn't necessary, but I'd like this fixed anyway. Other programs manage to reestablish their icons in the system tray after explorer.exe is relaunched, and so could Salamander.

My system is up-to-date.

After explorer.exe crashes, OS relaunches it, and some programs restore their system tray icons, but Salamander doesn't. It happened this way on Windows XP and still does on Vista. The only current solution is to restart the computer. I would like to see this fixed.

To clarify: Salamander was minimized (with an icon in the system tray) when Windows was shutting down.

If Windows shuts down before Salamander is closed manually, Salamander doesn't restore the size of its window upon subsequent launch. It's a little annoying.

Will the new version require a new registration key?

That option has been enabled but to no avail.

Does it really belong in a file manager?

I'd really like to be able to launch (activate) Salamander with a hotkey (e.g. CTRL+ALT+s -- should be configurable) when it's minimized. On Windows XP I used a hotkey for a shortcut that launched it, but it doesn't seem to work on Vista (it tries to launch another instance of Salamander instead of ...

th. , after you asked, I tried it with Notepad and saw the same thing. zarevak , thanks for your input. This gave me an idea to run SynTPEnh.exe (the name is self-explanatory, I think) as administrator too, and the problem went away. :D However, I don't understand the situation completely -- progra...

Another process (in OS terms)?

It's the same account. I was referring to running the program as administrator, which is an effect of using UAC under Vista.
